Chicago: Music of the Baroque

Monteverdi Vespers

Jane Glover, Conductor

From the website:

A towering masterpiece of the early Baroque—at once intimate and grand, prayerful and dramatic, exalted and sensual. Monteverdi’s rarely performed 1610 Vespers of the Blessed Virgin offers up a dizzying array of textures and sonorities in brilliant instrumental writing, opulent choruses, and moving solo arias and duets. Only subscribers are guaranteed seats for what is certain to be a highlight of the coming concert season.
